Venus Williams To Pose Nude For ESPN The Magazine's Annual Body Issue

In an upcoming issue of ESPN The Magazine, nine-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams will discuss her struggles with Sjogren's syndrome, an autoimmune disorder that kept her off the pro tennis for six months in 2011 and 2012.

She will also be posing nude.

"If I would have thought about it before, there may have been a little less of a chance," Williams told ESPN about her decision to appear in the magazine's annual Body Issue.
